So, as the Commerce/Management ship sinks for 90% of UTM students, we try to make our way onto the DEM ship. Only thing is I’m SO confused.
Ok, so I finished 3.5 credits. I am doing another 1.5 over summer and will have 5 come September.? The only thing is, I know I can’t enrol in 2nd year CCT courses until I have a subject POSt. So I am just planning on enroling in a temporary one so I can get into the courses on July 26th. I already applied to the philosophy specialist post (eww, but don’t have any other choice). I did well in 1st year philosophy and I have a 2.9 GPA.
But is it true that I won’t find out if I got in until September 9th?? So I can’t even enroll on the 26th like I had planned?? OMG. *que anxiety attack*
Or is it possible that I could get in at any time before the 26th?? In a few weeks I should have that 4th credit.
HELPPP MEEEEE!

Dude.
Firstly, I literally answered this question a few days ago.
Secondly, I’m finding it mildly alarming that I am getting so many questions from UTMers over enrolment controls. Guys! It’s literally at the top of the timetable page if you wisely consider the legend! LITERAAAALLLLLLLLY. Look at what “priority” means and save yourself some anxiety!
Sigh.
Anyway, to expand on the answers you can find via being a university student and doing some preliminary reading, no, you won’t have to wait until September 9th when you’re actually in the DEM program.
If you actually read what is written in the bright yellow box over whatever courses you’re currently not priority for, you’ll see that it says:
Priority is given to certain groups of students to enrol first and then the course becomes available to other UTM students on July 26, 2013.
Meaning, you just have to wait until July 26, when the priority period ends.
